Facebook Acquisition Does Not Put Shutterfly in Play: Pro Trader

Which companies will own social media in years to come the way Google owns search now?

That’s a question you’ve probably asked yourself more than a few times, if you're among the throngs of investors hoping to get in on the ground floor of social media.

And on Monday, investors were tempted to make their next move after Facebook dropped $1 billion to buy the photo-sharing company Instagram.

According to the New York Times, 'Instagram is a social network built around cellphone photos. It lets people add quirky filters and effects to their snapshots and share them with friends, who can “like” and comment on them. The service has been something of a rising star in the start-up world. Barely two years old, it has attracted close to 30 million users, even though it worked only on iPhones until last week, when it released an Android version of its app.'

John Lagerling, Google Android Global Partnerships director, breaks down the competition in the smartphone market and the Fast Money crew weigh in on Facebook's $1billion acquisition of photo sharing network, Instagram.

The acquisition is Facebook’s largest M&A deal ever. If Mark Zuckerberg is willing to spend so much for this company, do rivals such as Shutterfly belong in your portfolio?

Although your knee-jerk reaction may be to buy the dip, trader Brian Kelly, says resist the urge.

“I look at this development in the same way I look at Google’s purchase of YouTube. "Everyone goes around and says who's next, who else is out there? But there really isn’t the need for another one." In other words, he doesn’t think this acquisition will lead to a similar move made by another firm.

Meanwhile, if you’re eager to get into Facebook at the IPO, trader Steve Grasso says these developments should give you pause. “It calls into question how Facebook is going to spend its money."

Joe Terranova feels very differently. He likes the deal and says it's been in the making for years. “This gives Facebook a larger and much needed presence in the mobile space. This gets it done. I think it's a great acquisition.”
